Origin & History

Modern political/administrative compound formed from single + district; widely used in election-law contexts (especially in American English) in the 19th–20th centuries.

‘single’ + ‘district’ से बना आधुनिक राजनीति/प्रशासनिक संयुक्त शब्द; चुनावी कानून के संदर्भ में (विशेषकर अमेरिकी अंग्रेज़ी में) 19वीं–20वीं शताब्दी में व्यापक रूप से प्रचलित हुआ।

ऐसी निर्वाचन व्यवस्था का वर्णन जिसमें प्रत्येक भौगोलिक निर्वाचन-क्षेत्र (जिला/क्षेत्र) से केवल एक प्रतिनिधि चुना जाता है (बहु-सदस्यीय क्षेत्रों के विपरीत)।
